I am trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that’s not easy to do…so many roads, so many detours, so many choices, so many mistakes.

Did you say it? I love you. I don’t ever want to live without you. You changed my life.
Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it. But every now and then, look around. Drink it in. Cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow.

I spend a lot of time focusing on my future. Planning it. Working toward it. But at some point, I started to realize that my life is happening now. Not after college. Not after I get a promotion. Right now. This is it. It’s here. Blink. And you’ll miss it.

When something begins, you generally have no idea how it’s going to end. We spend our whole lives worrying about the future. Planning for the future. Trying to predict the future. And figuring it out will somehow cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears. And our wildest hopes. But one thing is certain, when it finally reveals itself, the future is never the way we imagined it.

The joy. It comes around rarely, so rarely…we forget it can happen. And that’s why we do what we do. The joy.

You know what to do. Yes, you do. You’re just scared to do it. This back and forth is just fear. But you’ve already made this decision. You’ve made it the day you decided to fight this thing. Just look what you started & look where you are now. Now you’re this incredible person. You’re a doer remember? You know exactly what you have to do.

You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it’s happening. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there’s not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know?

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say.
I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you’re making a mistake you can’t undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we hadn’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day.
Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

She: Take care now? What are you a choke-em-and-forget-em kinda guy?
He: It’s my shrink’s. She gave me sentences. We came up with them together. It’s all three words. It’s so I have something to say to you instead of the three words that you know I feel but I can’t say it. But it would be cruel to say them because I am no good for you. I know I can’t be with you so I’m smiling and saying Take care now.
He: I’m letting you off the hook. I’m trying so hard to let you off the hook. I’m trying to make it right. Can’t you see that? I’m trying to make it right.
She: Take care now.
